Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari denied nod to travel in state plane to Dehradun; Devendra Fadnavis slams CM Uddhav Thackeray
Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari was scheduled to travel by a state government aircraft to Dehradun in Uttarakhand on Thursday (February 11), but the permission to use the plane was not granted even as the governor had boarded the aircraft, PTI reported.
The governor later took a commercial flight to travel to Dehradun, a statement from the Raj Bhavan said.
This comes amid uneasy ties between the state’s Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress coalition government and the governor, with both the sides being critical of each other in the past.
The Raj Bhavan statement said the governor’s secretariat had written to the government authorities seeking permission for the use of aircraft “well in advance” on February 2.
The office of the chief minister was also informed about it, the statement stated.
When asked about the issue, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar told reporters here he had no clue and will be able to comment after gathering some information on the issue.
